First Christmas at Hume and it was wonderful!

 Well this year for the first time since we have been married or dating we spent Christmas at Hume.  We had many threats of storms and such but the Lord provided and on the days our family was traveling up and down roads were clear.  We were blessed to get a large cabin up here from the Parkinson family that made our time especially great.

 The last time we got a photo like this was at Disneyworld and next year we will get to add Baby Burch in the picture.  This was the only day Jen actually went outside for over a week.  Boy does she need to get out more.

I always forget to get a picture of Jay and I and Liz took this amazing picture for us.  Thanks Liz! Can you believe they said this was suppose to be a mild winter.  Look at all that snow in the high country.

Oh and that lake was completely drained 4 days ago.

 I would say this year Tanner GOT christmas.  Maybe even a little too much because by the end she was thinking she got presents everyday because that is how many christmas's we had.  This is her trying to shake out her stocking Christmas morning.  She was so excited.

 Jett was happy to just sit back and watch it all.  Tanner was thankful for that too because then she got to open Jett's presents.  Next year NOT THE CASE!!

 Daddy filled in for Jett on opening his stocking and opening a few gifts.  Jay and I really had fun shopping for the kids and know that it is just going to get better with time.  We feel truly blessed by our kids and all that God has given us.

 The table in the back ground was from Nana and Papa and that was the first thing she saw when she got up.  She ran right up to it and said "for me?"  Well technically for you and Jett but for now she gets it to herself.  We tried the Santa thing and she said Santa got her stuff but I don't think she truly understands and we didn't play it up that much.   we did leave out the cookies though but she never even noticed the plate.  I don't know how much we will really play it up  because I don't really like the lying thing and really Jesus is the reason we have all we do.  So we will see how the years play out.

 Grammie and Grandpa hit the mark with their gifts this year.   An art esle and Tinkerbell.  Tanner got a plate, cup and bowl set and then Tinkerbell doll with light up wings.  She LOVED it!!  GUess you can't really dictate which characters you kids will like for they have a mind of their own.  I love little mermaid and have tried to get Tanner into Ariel but alas to my dismay she wants nothing to do with it.  She fell in love with Tinkerbell.

This was the year of games for Tanner which is great because we had NONE!!  We got connect 4, candyland, lucky ducky, cootie and a fishing game.  Winter time here we come.  As I write this we are getting another storm with snow.  Did I mention it was suppose to be a mild year for snow?

 Tanner is also really into music and singing so she got her first keyboard and microphone. Oh and a recorder too which is loves playing.  Mommy not so much, but I did remember how to play Mary had a little lamb on it.  Not to bad if I do say so myself.

This is a classic picture we had to post.  Grammie and Grandpa got micah this bath towel and Jay got Micah a light sabor and this is instantly what Micah started doing.  Jay was in heaven and I know can't wait for Jett to get bigger.  It is amazing how boys just know what to do with Swords.  but Tanner had fun with it too and I tried to tell Jay that he should have gotten Tanner one too.  She is not "all girl".

 Grammie got Tanner her first cooking apron and Tanner loved it.  So did mommy because now maybe Tanner's shirts won't get so ruined.

Yes Jay did get Jett his first star wars item.  A yoda doll, which Jett loved, Micah said "scary".  

The Johnson family also did a little sledding thanks to uncle Adam.  Tanner had fun but got tuckered out really quick.

It was a great Christmas if I do say so myself and I look forward to many more with my kiddos and hopefully more at HUME!! Merry Christmas everyone.
